Chevrolet
Equinox
The 2019 Chevrolet Equinox
has a lot of options making it a
good choice when considering a
vehicle with good fuel economy
and a standard price of $35,000.
The Equinox comes with a 1.5
liter turbo, 4-cycle engine or pre-
mier 2.0 liter turbocharged engine.
Fuel efficiency is rated at 24 mpg.
The car’s direct Injection and stop/
start technology is paired with a
9-speed automatic transmission
and Chevrolet’s infotainment sys-
tem is included.
Driver safety features include
lane change and blind zone alerts.
A keyless feature locks and un-
locks the vehicle’s doors without
having to use the key fob, increas-
ing security and convenience.
The Equinox also comes with
cruise control and remote start so
you can step into a comfortably
warmed or cooled vehicle, de-
pending on the weather and your
preset preferences.

Show Opens with Reception
Guardino Gallery, 2939 N.E.
Alberta St. opens its doors to a
February show by inviting the
community to a reception with
the featured artists. The opening
night event will take place on Last
Thursday, Jan. 31, from 6 p.m. to
9 p.m.
The gallery is highlighting a painter who focuses on the
the works of two artists in the abstract, engaging in a com-
Main Gallery: Paula Blackwell, plex and playful fusion of color,
shape and atmosphere; and Han-
na Traynham, whose ceramic
work mimics organic growth and
fluid movement. Her sculptures
refer to the asymmetrical bal-
ance of nature, imperfection and
impermanence.
In the gallery’s feature area, Ce-
leste LeBlanc will display some of
the kiln-formed glass she has pro-
duced over the past20 years.
